The description of the MemoryCacheImageOutputStream.read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
says:

Throws:
    NullPointerException - if b is null.

But it does not throw any exception in the following example,
if run on JDK-Merlin build b66:
===================== a.java =======================
import javax.imageio.stream.*;
import java.io.*;
public class a {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        MemoryCacheImageOutputStream mcios = new MemoryCacheImageOutputStream(baos);

        mcios.write(new byte[100]);
        mcios.seek(0);

        try {
            mcios.read(null, 0, 0);
            System.out.println("Failed for b = null");
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            System.out.println("Passed for b = null");
        }
    }
}
===================== log =======================
